what i did

This is how I finally set up my book for the year. I couldn't decide if I wanted 1-3 pictures on the first page and then the following weeks would follow the Sunday-Saturday week. So, I just said s(crew it and did what I thought from the beginning - Jan 1 onwards. My week will run from Thursday to Wednesday Jan. 1-7 2009.

First page- using up leftovers in my stash, yippee. Chipboard shapes, stickers & hand cut papers will be used as embellishments throughout the book.



I painted bare chipboard with Distress Crackle and then rubbed mustard ink over the top.
The week cards will have a handcut photo corner & some stickles for good measure.
I already screwed up the date on the second card, oye. I just stamped the '8' on a scrap and covered the '7'.
One of the blank cards that I embellished. I'm planning on printing out a quote that will fit with the week.
The start of this week (thurs-wed), already have lastnight's ER visit documented. The rightside 4x6 pocket will be for journaling. Another day's picture will go into a 3x4 pocket.

I printed out the pictures 2in x 2in and glued them to a 4x6 cardstock.
The spine tag.
